Hi all,
Just thought I'd share the arrival of my daughter Amelie Rachel who arrived on Friday night :-)
Motoring link - we got stuck in traffic on way to hospital so I had to call an ambulance to take SWMBO and don't new borns look small in car seats :-)

Congratulations to you and your family; a new baby is a great responsibility and an even greater joy. I wish you all great happiness in the years to come.
|
Congratulations. Now the fun starts. You will find that new borns are not nearly as bad a people make out. Enjoy every minute, it seems to go so quickly!

let me be the last to let you down....

They are a joy, and also a worry. Just wait till she's 14 or 15 and coming on all mysterious.
Grandchildren are better. Less responsibility, plus you yourself have grown up at last so don't have to keep apologising to the nippers for your own bad behaviour, just once a week or so.

And now back to motoring please, sorry.

And now back to motoring please, sorry.
I'll turn a blind eye just this once.
Congrats kennybase. With all the sleepless nights you've got coming over the months ahead, I assume we'll see you popping in here in the early hours of the morning?

Many congratulations to you and SWMBO. One thing you may hve already noticed is the amount of gubbins that you have to take with you when you travel with a baby.
Whe we had our first, in 1975, we had a Maxi. It was a good, reliable, versatile car which swallowed, easily, the equipment for a full orchestra on one occasion, but was quite stretched to accommodate us, baby and said gubbins.
So I hope you've got a biggish car, or we'll be looking out for a thread saying 'voiture nouvelle pour Amelie....'

Congratulations, and Amelie is a lovely name.

Congratulations. I trust Mother is well.
Does this make us all motoring uncles (aunts) or something?

Nerve-wracking, to say the least and don't they just!
At least you had her names ready! My youngest daughter is called Victoria and behind that lies a motoring story of thirty years ago. She was born at 1:30 in the morning at Queen Charlottes which used to be in Goldhawk Road. I left there at 2:30 and drove home in my well modified Mk1 Cortina. As I was passing Richmond Green on that long sweep of road to St Margarets I felt that joy that only Dads know and the car and I sang to the sound of a full-throttle blast in the silence of the night.
The blue lights flashed, I stopped, got out and looked innocent. "Yes, Officer." "80? Officer." "My daughter has just been born and..." Then he smiled and asked me what I was going to call her. Serious panic! I had no idea! It was October 21st - Trafalgar - Nelson - his ship, HMS Victory. "Victoria!" "Get home safely and congratulations!" We shook hands and I went home gently and Victoria she still is.

Sweet story, entirely believable. World OK sometimes despite, er, ...

>>
My offspring were also born there 2/4 years later.
Just recently QC has gone to Hammersmith Hospital and most of the site is low rise very unattractive flats but the house has been saved.
>>I left there at 2:30 and drove home in my well modified Mk1 Cortina.
I did the trips in a Cortina 1600EAs I was passing Richmond Green on that long sweep of road to St Margarets.....
>>
As a St Margarets lad, I suspect it was the A316 past Old Deer Park, over Twickenham Bridge and the decent to the nice R/H sweep with the big big camber into The Avenue. All complicated by a now deleted right turn option in the middle of it.
In those days it was a real black spot as it was easy to be confused and go straight on or demolish the phone box.
They modified the street lamp shields, then a big big super height Armco type barrier was added when the escape route was blocked off but it still left the poor old phone box as a target.
Twickenham Bridge is the site of one of the earliest ever Gatsos and ofter shown on news items to this day.

>> Gatsos and ofter shown on news items to this day.
I used to do some work with the Met Police in the early days of Gatsos (not directly related to Gatsos I should say) during testing (around 1991/92) they recorded a motorcycle past that Twik Bridge camera at 120mph and he made it around the right hander, similarly a Porsche was recorded at some ludicrous speed by the Gatso at the beginning of the M4 elevated (eastbound) though could not be prosecuted because the camera evidence was inadmissble at the time.

Congratulations, nothing quite like the joy of new fatherhood

BabyBarchetta is now 11 weeks and cooing happily on his mat.

Thank you to all the BR Aunts and Uncles!
5 days in and we're now experiencing short sleep bursts and after 24 hours of silence, she is now making up for it!! She's completely worth it though!
So far, my car is able to take the bits and pieces that we need, but I'm sure we'll soon start running out places to put things in the boot! The only thing we have a problem with is the length of the seatbelts being too short in the back to go around the car seat so she has to sit in the front with me (at least I don't have a passenger airbag!)
